Faculty EdTech Bootcamp
This week, we’re featuring the resources from our recent Faculty EdTech Bootcamp, held just before the semester began. The Bootcamp is a week-long series of workshops aimed at helping faculty enhance teaching, research, and student engagement through technology. The sessions provided practical strategies to save time, boost productivity, and energize your classes.
If you missed the Bootcamp, don’t worry! We’ve posted recordings and resources from the week on our website. We’ll also be hosting another Bootcamp in January so stay tuned!
